Wolf Tree Nature Trail

On the north side of the park, you’ll find the terrific Wolf Tree Nature Trail. Well-suited for little legs, this short loop trail showcases a lush green wetland ecosystem that’s quite different from what you’ll see in most other areas of the park. Note that this trail does not allow dogs, and you won’t want to bring a stroller; there are stairs and other tricky spots. Kids will love the boardwalk sections, plants with enormous leaves and the stream trickling through.

Find it: The Wolf Tree Nature Trail is close to the north parking lot.
